Would completely agree…other than puckpreps throwing our image in their posts about him…I don’t think we were ever really in on him. Huge get for msu….game changer. Schloss tweeted they have 9 players taken in the top 2 rounds of the draft. That’s nuts.

There were some “other events” that happened too

Probably true…but the smaller schools will have age on their side. In a one and done tourney, that matters. The Canadian u20 squad has consistently lost games to the usports all star teams the last few years getting ready for the world juniors. It’s not lopsided like it used to be. They go “semi” back and forth

I could have sworn I read Desnoyers to BC or he’d remain in the Q for next year

…and we’re talking about 11s…boy I’m starting to feel old

I think this might have been the worst selection in recent memory. All the good MN kids were cut. Vandertop was near the top in points and he got cut. Weird deal. They will get absolutely slaughtered by Canada this year.

It was this year or never. He was drafted too high.

I’m thinking they’d bring in Simpson before Schultz but you never know. I wouldn’t be opposed to that too. Both are more offensive in nature/proto top 6/pp guys. They obv wouldn’t see those roles at UND next season. Which is why juniors is the ideal location. I actually think Swanson will have a great year. He needs to be top 6 from day 1, until he shows he’s not there yet.

I honestly think Mortone is a total long shot. I’m assuming the back up plans know they’ll be back up plans. That’s fine. Our current roster is solid.

Agreed. He’s going after a couple of guys and I’m sure there’s a backup plan and those guys are waiting.

Yep…my point was the current DU program. Carle has a really good thing going.

Yeah, I’m not entirely sure he would have even cracked DU’s lineup this year. I guess that was my point

I liked the player. I just don’t see anyone decommitting from DU unless it’s basically a mutual decision. I’d def take the player though 😁

Do we know something didn’t change with DU?

Do we really think McMorrow was ever going to flip? I’m not so sure there was ever a rumor. When Smaby was coming in that randomly just popped up. I thought it was more of a joke. No one’s decommitting from DU.

BU now? I thought Mich or PSU?

Sounds like Carbonneau staying put in the Q…things seem to be flipping the other way. This is wild to watch

1000% UND should move past that…but I’m next to certain it had nothing to do with mckennas choice. We were never in on him.

Agreed…beautiful city too

Justin Kipkie to ASU….really nice get

I would be absolutely blown away if Mortone comes here at this point. I’m seeing PSU is back in the picture too. Agree on the Gordon comment, he would have been a nice depth/plug and play add

Braeden Cootes signed

He needs to play with Emery and he’ll flourish

Liv has actually done great on the PP from my end. His O numbers are solid. That’s why (to me) this could be a really tough call.

In all honesty…Verhoeff is going to be a top 4 dman. He also will probably need to be on the PP. Not sure how this will all work with Liv and Wiebe, but this kid the bluest of blue chips. They don’t play secondary roles.
